本文证明了三元Laurent级数场的每一个平方和都是4个平方的和,这是Choi,Dai,Lam和Reznick在20世纪80年代的一篇论文中所证明的.我们得到这个结果证明,每一个平方和的有限扩展是一个平方和。它已经表明,在崔,戴,林和Reznick的文件,每一个平方和initself是一个总和的两个平方。我们给出了这个结果的一个推广,其中用任意的真实的域代替.我们的方法产生类似的结果,相同类型的字段的不变量。
We show that every sum of squares in the three-variable Laurent series fieldis a sum of 4 squares, as was conjectured in a paper of Choi, Dai, Lam and Reznick in the 1980's. We obtain this result by proving that every sum of squares in a finite extension ofis a sum ofsquares. It was already shown in Choi, Dai, Lam and Reznick's paper that every sum of squares initself is a sum of two squares. We give a generalization of this result whereis replaced by an arbitrary real field. Our methods yield similar results about the-invariant of fields of the same type.
